Problems upgrading to KDE3

I know this topic has come up I'm using SuSE Personal 7.3, and I'm
trying to upgrade to KDE 3. I downloaded all the packages from SuSE's
LINUKS thing, and I installed most of them by opening up Konsole and
typing /rpm -ivh "package location", /but it failed a few of them due to
pre-existing files or dependencies on other files (but I'm guessing that
the latter may be due to the former). I checked the archives, but they
got me nowhere. Help.
